Yes, do you trust a lot jockey "mechanic" who cannot manage to do an oil change to disassemble the entire dashboard and put it back together? without screwing something up?
lol...huh?
An oil change tech isn't going to be doing a dash disassembly. Most all dealership service centers have different techs for different jobs
That may be true for larger dealerships in more populated areas, but small town dealerships can be very different. I do agree that an oil change tech shouldn't be doing a dash replacement. But last time I checked, there was no good way of verifying that won't happen. It's called on the job training.
no, they don't. there's maybe one "real" licensed certified mechanic on staff maybe for the whole chain. The rest are just warm bodies with wrenches and a flowchart held upside down.
I live in Virginia and my truck is white. I'd say the panoramic sunroof is a mistake if you live in, well, the USA. The problem to me seems to be the fact that the fabric cover is BLACK INSIDE. On a 90 degree day (April-October) the lining will be between 150 and 170 degrees, while the rest of the headliner will be 130 or less. Even after running the little AC for 30 minutes the sunroof liner is still about the same temperature; and it's pretty close to your brain. I will indeed suffer the indignity of making several visits to the dealer to try to wear them down to do the TSB on the AC, and I do expect damage. But that won't fix this design error. If Ram had only used a reflective material instead of a super-absorbent type I think the car could be as comfortable as other cars. In my search for a bit of help I did a search for a half cover for a full-size pickup. Don't waste your time. There is no such thing. Period. Amazon has one, but reviewers save it barely fits a compact truck. Why did I even get a sunroof when I detest them? It seemed like a good way to keep the interior warm in winter, a practice that does work with my 4Runner. Anyway, I'm getting a 5x7 silver tarp and sticking it on with Harbor Freight magnets. I wanted a 4x6, which is the size of the roof, but couldn't find one. However, I have scissors.
This question was batted about in the early days of this forum. There are strong opinions on this approach. Some believe this kind of tinting can cause more problems than it solves when applied to large sunroofs…and others swear by it. I’ve left mine alone, and it’s been fine. But I rarely open the shade in summertime.
Gotcha. I have sunroof before, just never a full panoramic sunroof, so I'm learning plenty around here. Thanks.
